The USA has been a frequent location for the Blues’ pre-season preparations, including last year when we played in Las Vegas, Charlotte and Orlando. This July we will be one of six clubs travelling to take part in matches and events in five major East Coast cities, in what is the Premier League’s first-ever pre-season tournament in the States.
As well as Chelsea, the clubs confirmed to feature are Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and Newcastle United. They will compete in a total of nine matches with the tournament kicking off on Saturday 22 July when Chelsea take on Brighton at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.
Our other games are on Wednesday 26 July at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, where we play Newcastle, and the final match of the competition at FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland, on Sunday 30 July when Fulham will be the opposition.
While Chelsea have played in the stadiums in Philadelphia and Landover before, Atlanta will be a new venue.
Prior to the Premier League tournament, the Blues will play Wrexham in Chapel Hill, North Carolina as part of the 2023 FC Series. The venue will be the University of North Carolina’s 50,000-capacity Kenan Stadium.
An additional stateside fixture this summer will be confirmed by the club in the coming weeks.
Tickets for the Premier League Summer Series matches, now available via pre-sale, will go on general sale tomorrow (Wednesday 26 April). Fans can click on Premier League Summer Series now to register to hear more about supporting events in their area, as well as general news updates.
